If the straightness interferometer and reflector are manufactured

before 2002 they are a matched pair.

All straightness interferometers and reflectors manufactured after

2002 are not matched pairs as the manufacturing process was

improved.

Therefore, it is possible to interchange post 2002 elements with

other straightness kits manufactured after this date.

Additional clarification:

Renishaw recommends that XL-80 is recalibrated every three

years. This is defined as three years from sale rather than from

the calibration date on the certificate. This is because the units

are stored under controlled conditions by Renishaw prior to sale.

Additional statement added:

LaserXL analysis software was designed to meet ISO 230-2 1997. The

current standard (ISO 230-2 2006) altered the analysis of the data by

introducing the determination and reporting of a value for

measurement uncertainty, which is not reported in LaserXL analysis

software. There has been no change to the data capture process or to

the previous analysis calculations from ISO 230-2 1997.

It is up to the user to define and complete a range of tests for the

uncertainty parameters specified in ISO 230-2 2006. Once a total

measurement uncertainty value has been calculated, the new

Renishaw analysis software (XCal-View) provides the user the space to

manually enter it into reporting.
